Creating High Availability Learning Management System with Moodle Optimization
Creating High Availability Learning Management System with Moodle Optimization

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays learning management systems(LMS) are widely used for adding additional value to the traditional learning process. One of the most popular open source LMS is Moodle. It is used in many Bulgarian universities, including New Bulgarian University. The data in Moodle is constantly increasing with more and more users, courses, materials, logs, settings and so on. This increases server response time and causes heavy server load. We can examine the process of using Moodle and optimize the slow and heavy load parts. The main goal of this paper is to propose high availability Moodle installation. Deep and detailed research of weak points will be done. Good practices for optimizing servers, scripts, database schema and queries, network traffic and browser response will be checked for compatibility with the installation and will be implemented if possible. Optimizing procedures should be done under strong security and privacy requirements.
